Writer Guesses Canada Theft Trends and Nation’s Future
The Ottawa Citizen notes William Henry Chamberlin, author of Canada Today and Tomorrow, offers bold prophecies on Canada. He predicts John Churchill as governor general, Col. J La Ralston as prime minister, population reaching 15 million by 1950 and 25 600 000 by 1975, and immigration becoming postwar focus.
